IT'S OUR FAMILY NAME, IN VIETNAMESE.
WE MAKE CLOTHES THAT REMIND US OF OUR CHILDHOOD - SEWN BY HAND, HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL, DEEPLY PERSONAL.
MADE SLOWLY AND PROUDLY IN SÀI GÒN, VIỆT NAM.
A handful of pieces, done really well
WE START WITH THE FABRIC - 100% NATURAL FIBRES, NO SYNTHETIC FILLERS.
THEN WE SAMPLE, TEST AND ITERATE.
FINALLY, WE RELEASE OUR COLLECTIONS IN SMALL BATCHES, ONE AT A TIME.
01 ALPHA [SAMPLE|TEST|REVISE]

An unlikely fashion project
LIKE MOST UNRESOLVED ISSUES, IT STARTED DURING CHILDHOOD.
OUR MUM, A SELF-TAUGHT SEAMSTRESS DECIDED TO MAKE OUR CLOTHES, INCLUDING OUR SCHOOL UNIFORMS. WE SHOWED UP TO CLASS LIKE SORE THUMBS IN OVERSIZED BLOUSES AND AWKWARDLY LONG SHORTS.
BUT DESPITE THE CRINGE, WE KEPT WEARING THEM - BECAUSE DEEP DOWN, WE KNEW THEY WERE A LABOUR OF LOVE.
NOW, WE'VE COME FULL CIRCLE.
IN THE SPARE ROOM OF OUR CHILDHOOD HOME, WE STARTED THIS FASHION PROJECT.
WE EVEN CONVINCED MAMMA TRAN TO COME OUT OF RETIREMENT TO CUT AND SEW OUR FIRST SAMPLE.
